In my endless experimentation, I've found a new background which I quite like. Shooting with backgrounds can be tricky, because often you end up with the background and subject in one hand, while shooting with the other. A lot of shots end up in the bin - even if you nail focus, you might've moved slightly, cropping your subject when you really don't want to.

I like the background in the first two frames. The third seems a little too distracting for me. In the last frame if you had put the pill bug more to the left, looking to the right, it would be the winner of this series. When shooting insects think portrait composition rules and avoid placing the subject in the center of the frame.
